VICTORIA MORTON, NEW YORK, N. Y.

GARBAGE-PAIL.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, VICTORIA MORTON, citizen of the United States, andresident of New York, in the county of New York and State of New York,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Garbage- Pail's, ofwhich the following is a specification.

This invention relates to garbage pails and consists of a substantialsheet metal pail with a lid and handle and inclosing a basket of wirealso having handles and somewhat smaller than the pail and adapted tocontain a bag or receptacle of water proof paper, the object of theinvention being to deposit port the latter in the basket so that in caseof leakage of liquid through the bag it will not cause the paper toadhere to the sides of the container and the pail will not become foulfrom material left therein, as will be more fully described in thefollowing specification, set forth in the claims and illustrated in thedrawings, wherein:

Figure 1 is a cross sectional view of the improved pail.

Fig. 2 is an elevation of the wire basket.

Fig. 3 is an elevation of the bag.

Fig. 4-is a plan view of the device with the lid removed.

In garbage pails -heretofore used great diificulty has been experiencedin keeping the same clean on account of the liability of small bits ofthe garbage accumulating in the corners of the pail and ofthetroublemecessary to clean the same. Linings have been provided for thepails but as the least leak age of the material and particularly theliq-' uid will cause the paper to adhere to the sides of the pail itsoon becomes an undesirable feature and is discarded.

In the present invention means are adapted to relieve the lining of thisdanger of sticking to the pail by inclosing it in a wire basket andproviding space between the basket and the inside of the pail so thatthe circulation of air around the basket will Specification of LettersPatent.

tend to dry the moisture in the garbage and prefent the same fromdraining into the pal The paper bag containing the garbage may then beremoved and with its contents thrown away or burned, and the pail keptpure and odorless.

In the drawings is show-n a pail 5 of the common type and having a cover6 and a handle 7, and within the pail is located a basket 8 of wire meshof sufficient texture to properly support the bag and having a binder 9at its upper edge to strengthen the same, and handles 10 are provided tomanipulate the basket.

Within the basket is carried a bag 11 of water proof paper and having anoverturned upper edge 12 to fit over the binder 9. This edge 12 is .insome instances sufiiciently stiff to hold the bag from contact with thebasket at any point but if the amount of garbage is very greatthe bagwill be supported by the bottom of the has ket leaving air space beneaththe same.

When garbage is placed in the bag the latter is practically held insuspension and may be dried while inclosed and be in condition forburning in a few hours, or finally disposed of in the dry state, thechances for the leakage and accumulation of the liquid garbage beingvery slight and if any should find its way into the pail it could beeasily washed out.

- The pail when closed with its lid may be kept in an apartment orkitchen and will I give ofi no offensive odors and the bag is cheapenough to throw away with its contents when desired, leaving the basketand pail in a wholesome condition and ready to receive a new bag formore garbage.

It is'obvious that the device may be otherwise arranged or modifiedwithout departing from the. essential features above. de-
